Marjorie Taylor Greene is raising more money than ever before

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene raised more money this year than in her last two election years, according to recent Federal Election Commission filings.

The Republican, running for her third term in the House, raised $2.17 million in 2024, according to the most recent filing in July. During her first campaign in 2020, Greene had raised $322,620 by the same point in the year, while in 2022 she had raised $1.9 million.

Under the campaign slogan “Save America, Stop Communism,” Greene positions herself as a businesswoman, mother and Christian “loved by patriots,” according to her website.

Greene, who has close ties to former President Donald Trump’s policies, is currently projected to win her seat again in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, with The Hill showing her with a 99 percent certainty of victory over Democratic candidate Shawn Harris.

Newsweek emailed Greene’s office and Harris’ campaign seeking comment Monday afternoon.

Harris was critical of Greene’s contributions to her district in the northwest part of the state, saying he offers more to his residents.

“I have specific things I want to do and bring back to the district,” he told the Associated Press. “Marjorie has been awake for three and a half years and has nothing to show that she has actually done.”

Harris, who has raised about $522,000, runs a platform that promises better health care, expanding broadband, improving immigration laws and reducing everyday costs.

Greene’s platform promises to defund the FBI, impeach President Joe Biden, end abortion in America and protect the Second Amendment.

In recent weeks, Greene has come under fire for her response to Hurricane Helene. in which she appeared to claim that Democrats controlled the weather to influence the presidential election.

Although he voted against additional funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Greene subsequently called for the resignation of its administrator after allegations emerged that the agency mishandled the storm response.

While Greene’s seat appears safe, Georgia remains a battleground state in the presidential race, with just three weeks until Election Day. According to polling aggregate FiveThirtyEight, Trump and Vice President Harris were tied in several recent polls in the state.

House districts in and around Atlanta are primarily blue, as is the 2nd Congressional District in the southwest corner of the state, while the rest are red. None of the Senate seats held by Democrats are up for re-election this year.
